A Critical Review of Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Processes from a Circular Economy Perspective. Batteries 2019, 5 (4), 68, DOI: 10.3390/batteries5040068 Lv, W.; Wang, Z.; Cao, H.; Sun, Y.; Zhang, Y.; Sun, Z. A Critical Review and Analysis on the Recycling of Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries.
In the case of battery manufacturer responsibility, there are two recycling routes for retired LIBs. One is the collection by EV manufacturers, and the other is the collection by the battery leasing company.
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) waste management is an integral part of the LIB circular economy. LIB refurbishing & repurposing and recycling can increase the useful life of LIBs and constituent materials, while serving as effective LIB waste management approaches.
Typical direct, pyrometallurgical, and hydrometallurgical recycling methods for recovery of Li-ion battery active materials. From top to bottom, these techniques are used by OnTo, (15) Umicore, (20) and Recupyl (21) in their recycling processes (some steps have been omitted for brevity).
Role of pretreatment in the comprehensive recycling of retired LIBs. Retired LIBs with poor performance will be recycled to recover their valuable components . To improve recycling efficiency, deactivation followed by mechanical separation is required to separate the individual battery components .
However, the widespread use of LIBs has resulted in the significant accumulation of batteries with different chemistries in landfills. Existing methods for LIB recycling are unsustainable, non-environmentally friendly and ineffective at recycling spent LIBs with mixed chemistry.
